Firestone Plymouth has been supporting people recovering from addiction since 2019
Firestone Plymouth has achieved this by providing a safe place to live, with staff who understand recovery and addiction providing support and encouragement to the residents, while they learn how to live by the principles of mutual aid recovery.
What is Firestone Plymouth
The Firestone Society is the trading name of The Firestone Society Limited. This is a new community benefit society, registered with the Financial Conduct Authority on 5th July 2021 (number 8669). It was set up to help people recovering from addiction, so they are the community it benefits.
The clue is in the name– our society has a strong relationship with Firestone Plymouth, which runs the recovery house. For example:
– Angie Brooks, one of our directors, is also a director of Firestone Plymouth
– Dave Graham, our chair, is a former resident of the recovery house
– Dominic Robinson, the manager of Firestone Plymouth, comes to all our board meetings, and has been closely involved in developing our plans
What is Firestone Society
Firestone Plymouth is the trading name of The Plymouth Lighthouse Project CIC. It is a community interest company, so its activities must help its community.
It exists to provide high quality supported housing in and around Plymouth for people recovering from addiction.
Firestone Plymouth has done this since 2019, by renting 95 Durnford Street as a recovery project, where people support each other to live without alcohol or drugs and attend mutual aid recovery groups outside of the project. This model has worked successfully since the project began.
